The New Orleans Saints have featured a high-flying offense ever since Drew Brees came to town, but what you may not know about this offense is how good their slot receivers have been. The stat below is courtesy of Pro Football Focus, and shows us exactly how important the slot receiver in the Saints offense really is.

Can the slot produce yet another 1,000-yard performer in 2015? I wouldn't bet against it.
